Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, located 2 miles west of Amesbury. It was built from 3000 BC to 2000 BC with bluestones transported for 150 miles from the Preseli Hills of Pembrokeshire, Wales. Its purpose is unknown, with archaeologists speculating that it was either used as a calendar (which marked the summer and spring solstices by measuring the sun's location), a healing site, a religious site, or a burial ground. Stonehenge has since become a British cultural icon, and it has attracted tourism from across the world since the Middle Ages.
